Mayor Williams' annual report, which
till bo delivered to the city council
next Wednesday, will. It is said, be
largely a defense of his administration.
The city's chief executive will make his
first thorough reply since, the adverse
criticism of the Hunt regime first com
menced, and it Is the general Impres
sion that it will be lively reading. yy
It will state-clearly and concisely the
present position of the administration;
will compare the statistics for the Jast
ten years, In so far as they- relate to
jublic receipts and expenditures; give
a well-defined statement ''of . what has
been accomplished during his "tenure
of office, and go -; very thoroughly Into
the municipality's - standing, paBt and
present. It Js also reported that Hie
mayor has gone to the pains of securing
hitherto unpublished records, which will
be a part of his defense. They undoubt- i

f The increase in freight rates an
nounced to be effective for the Pacific
coast after January 18 and which have
aroused local -shippers - and wholesale
men so thoroughly, appear to be only
the forerunner of other raises which
will be made generally effective early in
the year by Western roads. When the
rates were first announced, local freight
men understood that the - Trans-contl-liental
Freight association ; alone was
making the advance and that the Pacific
coast from Vancouver, B. ,C, to San
Diego, Cal., would alone have to meet
the Increased tariffs, but this impression
Eeems to have been erroneous. - :,
' From Salt Lake comes the word to
local freight men that . the commercial
bodies of that city are up in arms over
n heavy Increase in the freight charges
from the East. According to Salt Lake
Shippers, the present rates from the
East to Omaha and Missouri river points
have not been boosted. ' According to
the chamber of commerce at Bait Lake,
the wholesale trade the Mormon city
lias so carefully worked up is In immed
iate danger of Invasion by Omaha job
bers and the Utah and Idaho territory ia
liable to soon become a shipping center
for Omaha, rather than for Salt Lake.
The O. R. & N. is alone concerned of
local lines in this field and inquiry at the
headquarters brought out the informa
tion that the Salt Lake people need not
.worry, sines their ' Omaha brethren
would receive the same consideration
from the railroads. According to Q. R.
fc N. freight men the advance Is to be
general from Eastern points to Western
territory and from Eastern points to
fls sou ri river sections.
"The roads had after years of figur
ing," said a freight official today, "had
arranged matters so that Omaha, Denver
and Salt Lake had, their fields and so
that neither could steal. the other's pa
trons. Salt Lake merchants can rest
assured that this commercial equllibrum
will not be disturbed by the roads and
when the rates have finally been ' an
nounced, the only change found will be
a general advance over the several dis
tricts, not a discrimination for any one
point. . , The talk about the Harrlman
1'nes favoring Omaha Is absurd and the
jiead freight men are in session' in Chi
cago this week and were last week to fix
equitable rates and arrange all local
rates to conform, to the general pro
posed advance.",
. Though the local . freight officials
know of the proposed advance' they have
not yet received tariff schedules of the
rates for points off of the Paclflo coast,
but expect to have advance tariff sheets
during the week.
Some miscreant entered the home of
3r. A. C. Panton on Portland Heights
this morning, and stole os mangled a
whole litter of Irish terrier puppies.
; Two . were carried away, one was
gashed In the side with a knife, another
was found with two bones in one leg
broken.
! Dr. Panton has had the dogs only a
!iort time, having sent to Ireland for
j hem. They are all registered, and have
a pedigree covering five generations and
ere very valuable.- -
; Dr. Panton said today: '
"My wife heard some noise this morn
Jng among the dogs, but she "did not call
ne. That was about. 1 or 2 o'clock. If
I had caught him I would certainly have
hot the brute who Injured the little
fellows, as J always have a Winchester
rifle near at hand. The only theory I
lmve is that it was the work of some
one who injured the dogs out of spite."
COURT TO SETTLE
I VALUE OF SERVICES
One of the most peculiar question
ever presented to the county court in
-the matter of fees of administrators
snd attorney in estate eases was sr
gued before County Judge -Webster Sat
urday afternoon. The estate Involved In
the controversy was that of D. W. Lich-
tnthaler, of which-. Attorney George H.
"Thomas is administrator and for which
jhdwara Hemlenhall, of Mendenhall A
Alendenhall, is attorney. The estate la
nlued at 149.000, and objections to the
report of the administrator were filed
with the county clerk soma' tlms ago,
'W hen the hearing of the objections was
begun Mr. Mendenhainutd that the only
question before the court .was that of
'the fees of tha .administrator and the
attorneys. It was a question as to
whether the services of the two officers
of the court wore ordinary o extraordt-
inns-, and to the court was left the de
.emum-aa to the charge foe fees.'

Indictment of any one, but simply an ex

Heretofore Mayor "Williams has con

City Attorney "McNary. who Is han
dling the case for Mayor Williams and
other city officials,, brought by the Mu
nicipal association for a mandamus to
compel the enforcement - of the gam
bling laws, in defining bis future course
of proceeding stated: ., . - (
"Next Thursday a will - file my de
murrer to the granting of the writ. This
Is simply a formal matter and will be
overruled. , I will then take an appeal
to the supreme court. .The basis for
the appeal will be that there is other
adequate remedy at laVv to enforco the
gambling laws; that the head "of the ad
ministration have certain discretionary
powers, and may insert other points
which have3Tiotbeen:.iuUyv- considered.
While I ana not in a position to say
what the outcome will be, yet I think
that if the superior judges who made
a verbal decision of the case had sub
mitted a written opinion on the mat
ter and therein defined points of law
involved and opinions as to the duties
of the officers under the existing cir
cumstances, the matter would not have
been taken to a hlghercourt-, The prop
osition' now Is to get a decision which
will stand as a matter of, record and
give some foundation upon which tne
officials can act intelligently. It will
take at least 60 days to get this de
cision and until that time gambling wtll
probably continue undisturbed, unless
through 'Some other agency than the
present controversy." , y , ;
The attorney for the Municipal asso
ciation. M. L. Pipes, feels confident thai
the supreme court will uphold the de
cision of the Multnomah county bench.
In the : mandamus proceeding. ' He
stated: ..
"I have every' reason to think that my
case against the violations of the gam
bling laws will have a successful out
come. Of course there Is always an
element of uncertainty as to what, con
clusion a higher court will arrive at In
the decision of a case. The referendum
case -4s one similar to the present one.
The decision of the local judges was re
versed, although It was taken for grant
ed generally that it would be sustained.
I feel that the.maporlty of them are not
of the opinion that it makes the town
better. Certain lines of business may
be benefited, but in the very nature of
things, some one must suffer on. the
other hand." .,..

. The gambling bill 'was referred to,
and Rev. C. E. Cllne of Falrview Metho
dist church, made some remarks which
impelled Rev. Dr. E. L. House to call
him to order. Rev. Mr, Cllne remained
on his feet until he had had his say. -
7be question before 'the ' house waa
the matter of extending an invitation
to ,Gen. D. . Campbell ' Morgan to visit
Portland " next . April. : Dr. House bad
bad some correspondence ' with General
Morgan, who had promised, through W.
R. Moody of Springfield, Mass., son of
the late v Rev. Dwlght L. Moody, to
come to Portland In the spring, as well
as to Seattle and San Francisco. '
After several had spoken heartily J n
favor of the coming -of the general, Rev.
Mr. Cllne arose.. He said:
"I have been a member of this asso-cifttlonJSljreaslit-4s-seldom-that
we
have any , of these outside ministerial
stars -.come here that It does not result
In dissatisfaction over, who shall foot
the bills, and unfriendly feeling even In
this association. "It was' so following
the , coming of Dr. Chapman. I am
speaking from experience. If Dr. House
and the Congregatlonallsts 'want Rev.
Morgan to come here, let ' them be re
sponsible for his coming, y Thia work
which so much needs to be done In thla
city will never : be done by ; proxy by
any star. It ' must; be done here at
home by us. wearing out our own shoe
leather. B. Fay Mills, went, up like a
rocket and came down like a stick. He
abandoned us and went to the Unlversal-
lsts; then he came back again, and I
suppose ; he will want to come -: here

"Mr. Chairman, I arise to a point of
order." said Rev. Mr: House, who had
been standing in the rear of the audi
torium. . ' '..;..- -;-.yy:
' "I, want to finish what I have to say;
I want a word more," said Rev. Mr.
Cllne la louder tones. !
The gentleman is out of order. " B.
Fay Mills la not in the question before
the house." t
"1 must deccldc." eald Chairman Ran
dall, placidly, and with a 1ow to the
clergymnn from Falrview, "that the
gentleman from Falrview is not speak
ing to the question."
Rev. Mr, Cllne reiterated his remarks
about the necessity of. local ministers
doing their own work, and said in con

the cause of Christ in Portland, or to
the coming of General Morgan.-
Rev. Dr. House said he did not expect
to have Dr. Morgan apeak in his ehurch,
but would be satisfied, in fact preferred,
that he should, speak in some central
meeting place where all denominations
could participate. . , . .
.Accordingly an. unanimous Invitation
was given General - Morgan to come to
Portland.. He will be here April 1 o

, Rev. G.i L. Tufts of the Antl-S.aloon

Rev. Mr. Cllne again .spoke vigorously.
He said there was a general disregard
of law in Oregon, and in Portland in par
tlcular. He referred scathingly, to the
present municipal administration and to
the police department. "I don't know."
he declared, "that we have any law at
all; it seems not. It looks to me as
though we are approaching the neces
sity for military law. . The officers of
the law do not enforce the law, bat go
forward with a check infinite. What ia
sauce for the goose should be sauce for
the gander. If one man Is compelled tr
obey the law, all should be compelled to
obey it."
. Other clergymen spoke briefly. The
chairman, as somebody had referred Gov.
Chamberlain, said blandly that the gov
ernor and -every other good citizen was
in favor of upholding tne law and pro
tecting the rights of the people, and
there the' matter waa allowed to drop.
No action by vote was taken in regard
to tha loss of tho bill. -

Randall and Rev. E. M. Sharp were

port a committee to co-operate in the
